After Dark: Night, Sky, and Shadow
Call for Entries
What happens when the light fades?
PhotoPlace Gallery invites submissions for After Dark, a juried exhibition celebrating photography made in the hours between dusk and dawn.
We welcome a wide range of work, including night and astro-landscapes, urban and street photography, architecture, long exposures, light painting or drawing, and experimental approaches. From the glow of city lights to the quiet of rural darkness, from dramatic shadow to expansive night skies, this exhibition seeks images that explore how light, darkness, and the manipulation of time shape what we see and feel.
All photographic styles and processes are encouraged. We are looking for compelling, creative work that captures the unique atmosphere of the night.
We are honored to have Lance Keimig as juror for After Dark: Night, Sky, and Shadows. He will select up to 35 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and remain permanently on our website, and be promoted on social media with links to photographer’s URL.
